"Just some punctured black velvet cold and lonely blind and small"

Transcendental Sonnet #1180:
Punctured Black Velvet

A spark in the sky kindled the night
Punctured black velvet as though with a pin
It pinpricked the dark with a still point of light

Something unearthly? Something divine?
How I wish that it would happen again
If only I could look up and see it shine

My dark eyes feel blind they cannot see
They do not believe they have no insight
If I had hope my eyes could open and be

Able to see in the dark they say
Without hope I only stumble and fall
And this night is so long I forget what day

Even looks like anymore or what I am looking for
Just some punctured black velvet cold and lonely blind and small

this is a kicker poem Steven, the way I see it, leveled on at least three dementions, it seems to have a hope wound in it, sleek and covered, as one would see in string, or cord, wound. On first thought thought I thought it was dark, i.e. a fruitless poem, cuz of -

If only I could look up and see it shine ; as also with the "puncturing" of heaven, by the bright "lifted" star, and also velvet to be adequetly or fully noticed or even thereby identified would have to be turned "down", and that verse I pointed out seems, wel, if he's not looking up, he must be looking down, which would mean the light shined on him, and that is positive. However the give away is that no one in a truly negative mood would then notice any of this very fine description (at all), so therefore it is positive. ty Al
